Power generator for an airport mobile tower – Kenya

Genesal Energy has supplied 2 gensets of 20 kVA prime power to supply electricity to a mobile control tower.

Mounted on a semi-trailer truck with an elevation system of up to 9.5 M above ground level, allowing the controller to have clear visibility. The control tower also comes fully fitted with telecoms systems and can function as a fully operational control tower.

The gensets designed in our manufacturing plan will be used to supply power to this somewhat unusual type of control tower, guaranteeing it has power in the event of a mains grid failure. The gensets have also been prepared and set up to control other aspects of the mobile control tower such as the hydraulic mechanisms of the vehicle that supports the tower.

The principle characteristics of the project design called for redundant diesel generators, both for emergency power; the energy supplied comes from one of the two gensets, with the second genset remaining as back up. Should there be a further power cut associated to the 1st genset, the second genset will then start-up, this also applies if the 1st genset is undergoing maintenance.

Features

  • Redundant sets.
  • Ultra-compact design.
  • Units easily integrated into the client’s existing infrastructure.
  • The soundproof canopy is fully removable to allow mechanical access for maintenance tasks, given the limited space available.

Supply and installation of an adapted genset for the airport of La Coruna in Northwest Spain

The genset, designed and manufactured by Genesal energy for Coruna Airport belongs to the range of adapted products; generator sets which are intricately designed according to the client’s unique needs.

Prior to installation, a team of Genesal experts assessed the location where the genset would be installed in order to gather all the required data and information, this was then passed on to the engineering team to elaborate accurate plans adapted to the product and its eventual location.

In the case of Coruna Airport, our expert technical personnel had to take into account the unusual characteristics and conditions encountered in the area. For example, district cooling was applied by connecting the genset to a dry cooler on the roofing of the machine room.

Features

  • The generator set is open, with a remote cooling system, installed on the roof of the engine room. The exhaust gas silencer is made of stainless steel, suitable for outdoor installation.
  • It is equipped with Ni-Cd batteries.
  • It includes a fuel cooling system.
